Textbook Question
Chapter 14, Problem 4SE
Units and Semesters The registrar at a small college says she can predict the number of units that a full-time student has accumulated on the basis of the number of semesters the student has attended the college by using the equation
Predicted Units
This tells us the deterministic part of the regression model. What factors might contribute to the random component? In other words, why might a student’s number of units not fall exactly on this line?

- A well-known company predominantly makes flat pack furniture for students. Variability with the automated machinery means the wood components are cut with a standard deviation in length of 0.45 mm. After they are cut the components are measured. If their length is more than 1.2 mm from the required length, the components are rejected. a) Calculate the percentage of components that get rejected. b) In a manufacturing run of 1000 units, how many are expected to be rejected? c) The company wishes to install more accurate equipment in order to reduce the rejection rate by one-half, using the same ±1.2mm rejection criterion. Calculate the maximum acceptable standard deviation of the new process.arrow_forward5. Let X and Y be independent random variables and let the superscripts denote symmetrization (recall Sect. 3.6).
